Which versions of luluking3 are malicious?

The following npm versions of luluking3 are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate luluking3 if I installed it?

Remove luluking3 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed luluking3 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If luluking3 was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

How do I find luluking3 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook runs index.js, which reconstructs a URL and shell command from String.fromCharCode char-code arrays (obfuscated behind _0x-prefixed variables), invokes curl -sL -o <hidden.cache path> to download https://aone-kit.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/plugins/crypto.js, require()s the downloaded file inside the installer's Node process, and then unlinks it. The remote endpoint is a third-party Aliyun OSS bucket whose contents are mutable and controlled by the publisher, so arbitrary attacker-supplied JavaScript executes with the privileges of the user running npm install. Obfuscation of both the URL and the shell command indicates intent to evade static inspection.
